The one time I flew a bike to Europe, I used 2 boxes. On my way back, I used a single box + a backpack that I purchased over there. I had a bike shop back at both ends (The one in the US was much more expensive, but also did a way better job.). You will probably pass the weight limit that most airlines have, so splitting into 2 is way cheaper.
I don't think you really need to try to lock all of your bags when you are in a store. Just U-Lock your bike and you should be fine. Chances of stealing your bags off your bike outside of a store with a bunch of people around is pretty minimal. I carried a [day pack](https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Summit-Ultra-Sil-Day-Pack/dp/B0763MGRJ3/ref=asc_df_B0763MGRJ3/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309820094345&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8930152768236168621&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9052350&hvtargid=pla-632735717672&psc=1_ I could load with my valuables (camera + lenses and ipad mostly) if I needed to leave my bike somewhere I was worried about. Get a day pack like that, its tiny and a lifesaver.
Honestly, if I had it to do over again and was planning to do mostly road/hardpack for a few weeks or less, there is a decent chance I would just rent. You can probably get rentals for 15-20 euros a day including bags and depending on the route you decide take, you might be able to pick up and one end and drop off at the other. You certainly don't get as nice of bike, but its less of a pain in the ass, and could be cheaper after taking into account $300-400 to fly the bike and get it boxed up.
My best resource was finding out that the owner of my local bike shop did a lot of bikepacking in europe. His best piece of advice was to wear normal athletic shorts and synthetic underwear with a nice saddle rather than bike shorts that are hard to wash and get gross pretty fast.
